Condominium in Stratford, CT

Tucked all the way at the very end of the complex, this lower-level ranch-style unit offers the kind of peaceful setting buyers always say they want... and rarely actually find. Overlooking the pool with seasonal views of the Housatonic River, breathtaking sunrises, and stunning fall color, the back deck is the kind of spot that makes morning coffee feel a little more expensive. Inside, the kitchen brings the charm with butcher block countertops, a farmhouse sink, and tiled backsplash, while the bright living room opens seamlessly to the deck for that easy indoor-outdoor vibe. The full bath is stylishly finished, the primary bedroom offers a comfortable retreat; the second bedroom lives more like a bonus room/office with a large closet, even though it's listed on tax records as a second bedroom (there is NO WINDOW). Add in-unit laundry, gas heat, cooling, two parking spaces, and an HOA that covers the big stuff like heat, hot water, snow, trash, pool, and more... and suddenly this hidden little gem starts looking very hard to ignore. Just minutes to the Merritt Parkway and Route 8, but it feels like a quiet escape.
